I think he is on the right track. They need to penalize teams for tanking, especially serial tankers but a salary fine while a fun idea will never work. I do think you can do something with revenue sharing where if teams are consistently non competitive their share of the revenue gets reduced because no one wants to watch crap basketball.

It would be good for NBA and G League. NBA would have another storyline to market around "who can avoid relegation" as the crappy teams fight for survival and the G league would be getting more attention as everyone wants to see which teams would move up. NBA teams might even send some players down depending on their seeding in NBA to try and help push their G league team up.

Now you're really onto something. After the All Star break, the eight worst NBA teams switch places with the eight best G League squads.
